(Mark 9:1-8)
BIBLICALLY-BASED:We believe that Christian Scriptures are authoritative in all matters of belief and practice. (2 Timothy 3:16)
MISSION-ORIENTED:We believe that Christ has called and equipped us to minister to the needs of people, both within and beyond our congregation. (Matthew 28:18-20)
CULTURALLY-RELEVANT:We believe that the gospel should be packaged in the cultural forms with which the "target audience" identifies. (1 Corinthians 9:19-23)
GIFT-BASED:We believe that God has shaped each believer so as to fulfill His purpose for the church and the world. (Ephesians 4:1-17)
EXCELLENCE IN MINISTRY:We believe that God has called the church to strive towards excellence in the ministry and mission. (Malachi 1:6-14)
